pitti, that's it. thank you.
I removed cups-pk-helper and it works correctly again.
Moving to cups-pk-helper ...
** Summary changed:
- system-config-printer asks for password without necessity
+ cups-pk-helper makes system-config-printer asking for a password when adding
a new printer
** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
** Package changed: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) => cups-pk-helper
(Ubuntu)
** Description changed:
Since a recent update in Oneiric the proble occured:
If I click the "New printer" icon in the main window of system-config-
printer the new-printer wizard opens and immediately a dialog pops up:
----------
Privileges are required to get list of available devices.
An application is attempting to perform an action that requires
privileges. Authentication as one of the users below is required to
perform this action.
[ User selection drop-down ]
Password: _____________________
----------
This dialog is not needed (and never appeared before) as I am in the
"lpadmin" group and so I can do all administrative actions with CUPS.
- system-config-printer did not change when the problem occured for the
- first time. As the dialog seems to be from policykit I assume that this
- is a bug in policykit.
+ The problem is caused by the installed cups-pk-helper package, it
+ disappears when removing the package. So there must be a bug in cups-pk-
+ helper.
